Chương 32: The Notification Letter Finally Arrived

Zhao Rui put the bottle back in its original place and continued to search the room.

In just a few minutes, they made a considerable haul, finding over 50, 000 yuan in cash, a rather antique-looking steel dagger, and a scabbard engraved with intricate dragon patterns.

Besides these two items, there are also several condoms, two bottles of aphrodisiacs, and a set of female nighttime sex toys with an electric function...

"Hold!"

Zhao Rui couldn't help but spit inwardly. The more irresponsible and idle a man is, the more women he has to chase after.

This is absolutely infuriating!

After searching for a while but not finding the Qi-Inducing Pill he was looking for, Zhao Rui decided not to linger any longer and turned to leave the room.

He leaped onto the roof and then jumped away from there.

The moonlight, like cascading mercury, flowed slowly through the clouds, occasionally scattering across the earth with the chirping of cicadas.

In the deserted alley, several thuggish-looking men, each with a young girl in their arms, reeking of alcohol, staggered into the alley.

"Brother Tiger, can you really give my brother martial arts talent?"

In the arms of the broad-nosed young man at the front, a girl of above-average looks with exaggerated makeup was looking at him expectantly.

"Absolutely! Tiger has never lied to anyone!"

The broad-nosed youth did not answer, but his underlings behind him had already answered for him.

"Once you become our sister-in-law, not only will your brother have martial arts talent, but he'll be able to do whatever he wants at school without any problems."

Upon hearing this man's words, the other henchmen burst into laughter and echoed him, while simultaneously pinching their female companions' breasts.

Some girls readily agreed, responding with sweet smiles, while others frowned, their faces filled with fear.

The group chatted and laughed without restraint, which caused the surrounding dogs to bark incessantly.

Soon the group arrived at a small courtyard house along the street and strolled inside.

Within seven or eight minutes, a woman's pleas for mercy and shouts, along with a man's disdainful curses and kicking sounds, could be heard from inside.

"Brother, please let me go! Brother, my parents are still waiting for me at home!"

"Brother, please stop hitting him! Brother, please!"

"Damn it, what are you pretending to be innocent for? Are you still a virgin? If so, I'm even less likely to let you go."

Seemingly because the girl was disobedient, the man with the wide nose felt he had lost face in front of his underlings and started punching and kicking her.

"Where are you guys? Don't tell me you're all virgins? You're really giving me a fucking surprise."

The broad-nosed young man's words caused the other men in the room to burst into laughter, and they began to grope and tease the women around them.

The girls were immediately terrified and huddled in their seats, too scared to move.

Even if some girls were promiscuous in the past, they dare not show it now. Once a spark is ignited, it won't be a matter of one or two rounds.

Anyway, Tiger is hitting the girl on the ground right now, so there's no need for them to stand out!

"Don't you even know? Ask around, who dares to disobey me, Brother Tiger, in this area?"

The broad-nosed youth arrogantly bent down, reaching out a tattooed arm towards the girl whose face was already bruised and swollen, and touched her full, burgeoning breasts.

Just then, several whooshing sounds, like bullets piercing the air, shot in from outside.

Before the young men could react, their pressure points had been struck by the stones, rendering them as stiff as wood and unable to move.

Tiger was skilled in martial arts. Although he heard the sound of the wind and tried to dodge, he only moved slightly before being hit by the second pebble.

He let out a wail and fell to the ground.

Everyone else was frozen in place, but he was struck hard on the calf by a pebble, leaving a huge wound from which blood spurted.

At the same time, the lights inside the house were also shattered by the stones, plunging the entire room into darkness.

"Brother, is there some misunderstanding? Please spare me! Please spare me!"

Ignoring the pain from his wounds, Tiger struggled to crawl behind the coffee table.

He considered himself to be always "cautious and cautious" and never provoked martial arts practitioners, so how could a master have come looking for trouble for him?

Before he finished speaking, a figure, like a floating cloud, gracefully descended from the outdoor courtyard wall and landed at the doorway.

Under the moonlight, his figure was tall and straight, like a pine tree standing tall, with cold light shining in his eyes beneath his sword-like eyebrows.

Where is the Qi-Inducing Pill?

"Qi-inducing pill? Big brother, you're a martial artist, what do you need this for? This... this didn't work."

Tiger wasn't stupid. He knew the other party had specifically requested the Qi-Inducing Pill, so it must be useful. He was worried about potential problems if it was used on someone close to him…

"Since you know it's unsuccessful, why are you still selling it? Are you looking for death?!"

The face of the shadowy figure was obscured by a mask, but the furrowed brows clearly indicated that he was not in a good mood.

"Brother, I didn't sell them, they were all... ah!"

Before Tiger could speak, the shadowy figure had already stepped on the wound on his calf.

This immediately caused the previously arrogant and domineering man to let out a heart-wrenching scream.

"I'll go get it! I'll go get it!"

A wise man knows when to yield, so Tiger Brother dared not be stubborn anymore and limped into the bedroom.

A short while later, he took out a bottle of Qi-Inducing Pills from a small compartment, and also took out 50, 000 yuan in cash from the cabinet, without missing a single penny.

"Brother, this is all I have. Brother, please forgive me this time. I'll never dare to do it again. I really don't know how I offended you. You're so magnanimous..."

Seeing Tiger, who had been so arrogant just moments before, now so frightened, the young women quickly huddled in a corner, shrinking into a ball and not daring to utter a sound.

The shadowy figure glanced at the money and swallowed hard. Sure enough, if you wanted quick money, you had to resort to robbery…

Ahem, upholding justice!

He didn't respond to the broad-nosed youth's words, but instead reached straight for the medicine bottle.

Just as his hand touched the medicine bottle, less than a foot away from Tiger, a cold glint suddenly appeared from Tiger's hand and pierced straight towards the shadowy figure.

Tiger, who had been pleading in fear, suddenly revealed a fierce look on his face.

"Die!"

Tiger is a level three martial artist, after all. At such close range, and with such a surprise attack, even a martial artist two levels higher than him would be caught off guard and fall into his trap.

His dagger was incredibly sharp, a treasured weapon he had always kept. Now, when he suddenly thrust it out, he could pierce right through any piece of iron, let alone any kind of hard qigong.

"Ah, spare me!"

Just as he was feeling triumphant and thought he was sure to hit the target, he saw his wrist sink into a quagmire. It could only go out half an inch before it could not go any further.

At the same time, he saw the other person's cold and murderous gaze in his eyes.

Unfortunately, before he could utter another word of pleading, everything went black, and he was plunged into endless darkness.

Seeing Tiger lying limp on the ground, the shadowy figure silently picked up the dagger, along with the bag of money and Qi-inducing pills.

After taking his things, he didn't even glance at the young woman standing in the corner or the thugs who were standing motionless. He walked straight out of the courtyard gate and disappeared into the vast night.

"Everyone, run! Don't tell anyone what happened today."

After the shadowy figure left, a while later, the group of spirited young women exchanged glances and boldly rushed out of the courtyard.

Meanwhile, a few blocks away on a bustling street, Zhao Rui, dressed in blue and white shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, leisurely rode his bicycle home with a backpack on his back.

He wouldn't kill directly, but that didn't stop him from using a technique called "severing the pulse" to make Tiger become mentally impaired.

This kind of scumbag uses some bad students to lure junior high and high school students who are eager to learn martial arts into buying his Qi-Inducing Pills at high prices.

Not only did they swindle money from these students, they also left them to fend for themselves.

Zhao Ke's timely rescue was fortunate; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

The imperial court does not prohibit Qi-inducing pills, since their purpose is clear and those who take them do so willingly.

However, we will not allow the market to circulate freely.

Tiger's Qi-Inducing Pill is clearly of lower quality and more harmful than the Qi-Inducing Medicine developed by the imperial court.

"Unfortunately, their strength is insufficient!"

Zhao Rui shook his head inwardly. It was a pity that he was not a grandmaster and did not have the ability to trace back to the source.

The bicycle sped along the curb and soon returned home.

"I heard that many schools have already sent their acceptance letters, why hasn't yours arrived yet?"

As soon as he entered the house, Xue Wenhui saw him return and asked anxiously.

"Dongqi University has always been relatively late, so it should be soon."

Zhao Rui put his backpack into his bedroom, then walked to the coffee table in the living room, picked up a peach, and took a bite.

Hmm, the taste is far inferior to Tian Yaru's.

Indeed, there's a reason why things are expensive.

"It's almost mid-August, and the admission notice hasn't arrived yet. How am I supposed to treat everyone?"

Xue Wenhui couldn't help but complain.

"Mom, if I don't pass the exam, then we won't have to treat everyone!"

Zhao Rui chuckled.

"You child, what nonsense are you spouting!"

Xue Wenhui couldn't help but raise her hand and pretend to slap Zhao Rui.

Zhao Rui laughed and dodged, saying, "Don't worry, it won't be bad."

The mother and son chatted in the living room for a while before Zhao Rui returned to his bedroom and opened his backpack.

Inside was a set of black clothes, along with several stacks of bright red banknotes, which were particularly eye-catching.

Instead of spending a tiring holiday, why not punish evil and promote good?

This is absolutely outrageous!

No wonder this world is a place where order and chaos coexist, and civilization and B-force shine together.

Who would have such powerful strength and be willing to spend their whole life as a beast of burden, doing manual labor?

Without giving martial artists a special class, it's impossible to reach a compromise.

This is why many students aspire to become martial artists and infiltrate this circle.

Zhao Rui put the money in an opaque plastic bag, along with the dagger, and stuffed it into the bottom of his bookcase.

After hiding it properly, he tidied up and went to bed to meditate and rest.

Silent all night.

The next day, Zhao Rui went to Tian Yaru's home to tutor her as usual.

When the little girl saw him, she immediately asked curiously, "How did things go?"

Zhao Rui reached out and flicked her forehead, saying irritably, "I'm not an assassin, what's it to me?"

"what?"

"What the heck! Get back to studying! Today we're learning Chapter 10 of Grade 11 math..."

Zhao Rui put on a stern face, picked up his textbook, and began explaining the new semester's courses to her.

at the same time!

In a small alley near Lincheng No. 1 Middle School, Pao Ge walked nervously to the gate of a house and peeked inside.

He was followed by several followers with brightly colored hair.

"Tiger Bro!"

"Tiger Brother?"

Brother Pao called out twice, but when no one responded, he mustered up the courage to go inside.

"Where is everyone? Why is no one here?"

Pao Ge looked around the empty courtyard with slight surprise. Just as he was about to shout again, he saw Hu Ge walk out of the house.

"Brother Tiger, you're here!"

Pao Ge quickly put on a fawning smile and moved closer.

Before he could even get close, he heard a series of chuckles coming from Tiger's side.

He looked up in surprise and saw Tiger staring at him blankly, drool dripping from his mouth, looking quite disheveled.

There was also a wound on his right leg caused by a hard object hitting him, and the blood around it had long since dried.

Pao Ge was so shocked that he fell to the ground, and his underlings rushed forward to help him up.

Then a group of people took off running.

After running a few dozen meters, Pao Ge suddenly realized what was going on and frowned, asking, "Where are the others?"

His eyes darted around, and he waved his hand, saying, "Let's go back and take another look!"

After saying that, he led everyone back to the courtyard.

"Brother Tiger, it's me, Paozi, what happened to you?"

Pao Ge cautiously approached, his eyes slightly narrowed as he asked.

Tiger was out of his mind at this point and didn't recognize any cannons or vehicles.

All he does is chuckle foolishly.

Pao Ge's eyes immediately lit up with greed. He winked at his underlings, then quietly bypassed the mentally challenged Hu Ge and went into the house.

As soon as they stepped across the threshold, Pao Ge and the others were stunned. The house had been ransacked, with everything overturned and thrown around in a mess.

"Damn, I'm late!"

Pao Ge was not giving up. He circled the house twice, but found nothing except two boxes of condoms.

"Walk!"

Brother Pao waved his hand and led his gang of underlings away from the courtyard in a flash.

After everyone had run a mile or two, Brother Pao called his underlings over and said, "Brother Hu probably messed with someone. We need to be careful from now on, and don't contact him about the Qi-Inducing Pill. I'm afraid it's because of this!"

Although Pao Ge is not good at studying, he is not stupid. The only thing that might cause him trouble if he hangs out with Hu Ge is the Qi-Inducing Pill.

As for other fights and brawls, and territorial disputes, they have nothing to do with him, a student gang leader.

"Yes, boss!"

After giving instructions to everyone, Brother Pao finally calmed his nerves and led them to the billiard hall.

……

The madness of a petty thug is nothing to worry about in this world; even the police don't bother with it.

Another week has passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Rui's admission notice finally arrived belatedly in mid-August.

When Zhao Jincheng and his wife saw the four characters "Dongqi University" written in gold foil on the admission notice, they were so excited that they almost shed tears.

Even Zhao Ke, who rarely speaks, unusually greeted her brother with "Congratulations!"

This is one of the top universities in Dongqi Province. Graduates from this school will find it much easier to find a job or take civil service exams.

What's more, Zhao Rui is a martial arts student!

"Huh, this is a major?"

Just as everyone was overjoyed, Zhao Jincheng suddenly noticed that the major section of the admission notice read: "Accounting!"
